THE LUMBER TRADE.
THERE has been no change in the market
| curing lne week Inc uHSedSoldple weather
has caused trade in Eastern lumber to be
slack. The log cut will probably be larger
than estimated, and while higher prices are
talked of, they are based upon higher
freights and an expected good demand.
There has been a rather light call for car
lumber, though dealers expect good trade
when the weather opens. Rough hemlock
boards sell at $1,000 to 5000 and paned do
at S11 100 to $500; the best clear spruce
floor boards at $3.50 to $1,000, coarse at
